Can you please tell me why our Braeburn apple tree is dropping apples now, they are very small still? We are in Taupo region and I am watering it daily. We have recently sprayed it for black spot and give it neem granules.

Thanks so much

Hi Sue, This could be a couple of potential problems, I would not recommend this to be watered daily it will be better for you to water deeply once a week, so potentially it is being over watered causing the fruit to drop. Incorrect mixing of the spray (too strong) causing fruit drop. Natural dropping of excess fruit, if a tree has too much fruit it will drop the weakest and keep the strongest, especially if the tree is young. (neem granules should not have caused the fruit drop)

Thanks the Palmers Team
